    Hi David,

    ... which has numerous problems, I've helped to set up three of these in the
    past three weeks. :)

    Actually, that will be at all connections unless you are (like someone pointed
    out) a child of the mail receiving player.

    Those tips indeed do not cover this (and I have at least two other problems
    not covered, which I still need to report to him).

    > Any tips would be appreciated...

    The simple solution: `;$player_class = #90' (from memory though) making all
    new players by default a child of Frand's player class, which is a child of
    the mail receiving player.

    The nicest solution would be to move the mail checking out of #6:confunc and
    move it onto :confunc on the mail receiving player. (You'll need to do that
    if you want to have players who are not a child of the mail receiving player).

    Regards,
